KWARTENG - Humbled Tory who crashed the economy touts access to 'great guy' Johnson....

HANCOCK - MP forced to quit as Health Secretary over Covid breach wanted £10k a day

AS Kwasi Kwarteng was secretly recorded offering to work on the side for £10,000 a day, he also put forward what he thought was a very attractive proposition.

The shamed former Chancellor, who earns an £84,000 salary as an MP, said he could arrange for foreign business people to meet Boris Johnson.

Mr Kwarteng, who thought he was touting himself in a job interview with an overseas firm, called Mr Johnson the "best campaigner you'll ever see".

After the fake businessman conducting the bogus interview said he was hoping to meet the former Prime Minister, Mr Kwarteng said: "I'm sure you will.

"I mean, let's talk, I'm sure we can try and arrange that."

In video footage of Mr Kwarteng being duped by campaign group Led By Donkeys, he added: "I'm not promising anything but he's someone I know. He's a great guy."

Mr Kwarteng also suggested that Conservative whips would let him bunk off Parliament to fly around the world on private business.

In the sham job interview with a made-up South Korean his "brief" firm, he trumpeted experience as Chancellor.
